Failure Prevention Measures For Railway Spikes

Ordinary railway spikes are important components for fixing railway tracks. Their standard size plays a key role in ensuring the stability and safety of the track. According to professional standards, the length of ordinary spikes is usually between 165 mm and 280 mm, and the diameter is about 16 mm. At the same time, the weight of the spikes will also vary depending on their length, generally ranging from 0.379 kg to 0.610 kg.

Establish a regular inspection system, focusing on the rust condition of the nail head and the tightening torque. When plastic deformation of more than 3 mm or thread damage occurs, it must be replaced immediately. Anti-corrosion coating should be supplemented during the overhaul period.

Failure prevention measures for railway spikes:

1. Use a torque wrench to control the preload during installation

2. Low-temperature special lubricants are required for winter construction

3. The spacing of the curve section is increased to 1.2 times the standard value

Scientific selection and standardized maintenance can ensure that the service life of the spikes is more than 15 years, effectively reducing the risk of track geometric deformation.
